"The thing is, this offseason was probably the most active Jerry Jones has been since who knows when, and a lot of folks including myself are wondering if they even got better on the defensive side of the football. A lot of talk was around trading for Maxx Crosby or signing Trey Henderickson, but those fell through, and really the only major signing they made was Jalen Thompson the safety from the Arizona Cardinals."
"For me, and you may think differently and that is okay, but the biggest need is still at the linebacker spot. As of now, the off-ball linebackers are DeMarvion Overshown, Shemar James and Justin Barron, that clearly needs some work. My major issue is that everyone is putting stock into Overshown, and he has played 18 games in three years because of that knee injury."
"With that said, my guess is that they will have the best cornerback left on the board at 12 next month. They signed Jalen Thompson, who was their big signing last week, but also added Cobie Durant, who can play at just about any spot in coverage, and also P.J. Locke."
The Dallas Cowboys had an unusually active offseason under Jerry Jones, though questions remain about defensive improvements. Failed attempts to acquire Maxx Crosby or Trey Henderickson left them with limited major signings, primarily Jalen Thompson at safety. The team's biggest defensive need is at linebacker, where current options DeMarvion Overshown, Shemar James, and Justin Barron require significant development. Overshown's injury history raises concerns about reliability. The secondary received attention through signings of Cobie Durant and P.J. Locke alongside Thompson. With limited free agency success, the Cowboys plan to address remaining defensive gaps through their first two draft picks, particularly targeting cornerback and linebacker positions.
